  • 1-How did your interest for computers start? Which year was that?

  • The day i played black and white tennis on my telly.


  • 2-What machines did you previously have? What did you do with them?

  • Let's see, Philips game computer, Atari 2600, Spectrum 48k, C64, Amiga
    500/2000 and now i have a PC.


  • 3-For what specific reason did you end up making music rather than gfx, coding?

  • Hard to tell really, I didn't had the patience to code or make graphics, and
    making music was more like hearing the progress..


  • 4-Which composing programs have you been using? Which one in particular?

  • All kinds of soundtrackers, tried my hands on Rob Hubbards code once, but
    composing took to much time without an editor..


  • 5-With which module did you feel you had reached your goal?

  • None really, but the more people like it, the more i reach it..


  • 6-Is there a tune you would like not to remember? For what reason?

  • Too much to write down here..:)


  • 7-In your opinion, what's the value of a music in a demo, game?

  • Only seeing a demo without hearing anything is rather borring, now isn't
    it?..:)


  • 8-At present, are you still composing? For professional or leisure purposes?

  • Just for fun i try to make some tunes on fruity loops but that's all.


  • 9-What do you think of today's pieces of music such as mpeg,wave,midi,etc...?

  • Nothing, really..


  • 10-Could you tell us some of your all times favourite tunes?

  • Rob Hubbard and Martin Galway are my alltime hero's...


  • 11-Are you planning to make an audio cd with some of your music remastered?

  • Maybe a cd for myself...


  • 12-What bands are you currently listenning to?

  • I like allot of music, but i do like Hans Zimmer.. he makes awesome themes.


  • 13-What does/did the amiga/c64 scene give you?

  • Not much, just a great time..


  • 14-Are you still active in the scene these days?

  • Nope.


  • 15-Anyone to greet? Anything left to say? Feel free...

  • I want to greet all those die hards out there who still love the C64 &
    Amiga.
